Hi all,

I’m using debian and used ‘apt-get install nginx’ installed nginx  
0.7.6.3  
And I want to upgrade it to version 0.8.53.

Use ‘apt-get install nginx’ I don’t need to compile nginx, and the conf  
file  
is in /etc/nginx.  
And if I want to install 0.8.53, I need to compile nginx first, so how  
can I  
upgrade nginx with current nginx.conf?  
There are several websites on my server, I don’t want to interrupt web  
service

Thanks

If you create a new .deb package there’s no interruption and no config  
file is rewritten. The .deb has a postinst script that does the  
upgrade properly by sending the correct signals to the running  
process.

I can share with you my .deb for 0.8.53 (I’ve not yet setup a debian  
repo) It has no SSI, mail support or Python CGI stuff. It’s compiled  
against the OpenSSL library in squeeze (testing release).

Hi Xin,

You can use my nginx personal. i packaged it non-official for Debian  
(works in squeeze/sid) from:

[http://dl.0x29.com.ve/debian/](http://dl.0x29.com.ve/debian/)

Dont forget to check README file for more info.

Enjoy 😉
